COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State assistant baseball coach Greg Cypret is one of nine University of Missouri athletes chosen for induction into the MU Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame.

Cypret hit .356 for his career and held the school career marks for hits (253) and runs batted in (181) until this past season. He signed with the Houston Astros in 1978, and after his professional baseball career joined former Tiger assistant coach Bob Todd on the coaching staff at Kent State. He is currently Todd’s assistant at Ohio State.
